First time-

No, not that kind of first time, but I know you were thinking it. The other day at work was the first time that I've "officiailly" been a waitress. Now what makes it official is me getting a different number to use to clock in, and this one had a much lower pay grade on it. About three dollars an hour to be exact, compared to my usual 7.25 minimun wage, seemed like quite a downgrade. However I love serving, its so much easier. Unbeknowsnt to the owner of the store, I've been taught how to do almost everything, which is probably why everything is so easy. He has his ways of doing things, and timing, so being me i just bypassed all of that and went to my managers. I do believe that my best experience in waitressing so far has been the varietys of customers, and the money(: My first time there was this really really fat guy; and im not all for looking sickly thin is cute, but dang dude! After he ate half the buffet, I tried to take a plate that had nothing but pieces of toppings on it, and I thought he was going to bite my hand off! I tried so hard not to laugh, and he didn't even leave me that great of a tip! I wish the chair would've broke or something, it deffinatly would've made that experience worth it!

"Chill" time in class

Todays been an okay day I guess, extremely stressful for a monday! I had a test in every class today, and a "quest" in math. Yeah, I know, whats a quest? Well, its not big enough to be a test, but not little enough to be a quiz. Teachers are so clever. But there is one thing that I love about this class, the teacher always gives us free time. I usually try to get my homework done first, but some days you just need to chill out. Which is what I would be doing right now. I'm jammin some music with headphones, and blogging. Sounds relaxing right? Well try it for yourself, I think everybody needs just a little bit of time to relax and then get to work. Helps to ease some of the stress of a typical school day. I believe that in every class we should get about 10 minutes, just to listen to music, or sleep, or even just sit and talk. After this then teachers also have more of reason to disicpline when students are doing what they're not supposed to be considering they gave them time at the begining of the period. I also think that it would help students relax and settle into the classroom before starting to work. We should deffinatly have Chill time.(:

Swine Flu

So you know of the most recent pandemic to hit the United States. and half the world. is Swine Flu. We also know that our government has given out these vaccines to help prevent the spread of the infection. The question of the hour is though, to take, or not to take the vaccine? Youtube, has a video published of a woman that had an extremely rare genetic disorder, that causes her multiple handicaps after having taken the swine flu vaccine. Well, my advice is to take the vaccine. I went myself last Tuesday to get the vaccine. It turns out theres actually two forms of the vaccine. Theres a shot, which has a dead virus in it, but also takes longer for you to become immune; and then there's the live version, the nasal spray, that takes less time for you to become immune. I choose the shot version, one I dont like things being stuck up my nose. The shot wasnt painful, short prick and then its over. I encourage everyone to get the vaccine, and dont be discouraged by a rare case.

Box of Memories

"Well, um, this is kinda akward. Why do you need it back? I thought you gave it to me because you wanted me to have it?"
"I did Kira, I still want you to have it, I just need it back, please" Jeremy said.
I looked at him dumbfounded. He had given me his papaws belonings long ago. I loved it that he gave them to me, the only tanagable memories of him, he had given to me. Inside the box were items of his favorite past time, golf; tees, markers, and a small variety of other items. The box was more than a box to me, it was a gift of something not tangable, no image or song could exactly reflect the meaning of his care when he had given me that gift.

***

Even though him giving me his papaws box means so much to me, If he needed it I would give it back. I may have doubts about why he would want it back, maybe I'm not what he wants anymore, and this is just an easy way to get back what he wants? Or maybe he doesn't trust me with it anymore? Then again maybe I'm thinking too much about me; in this situation he could just miss his papaw, and want the box back to have those tangable memories again. The ones that even though time will fade, they are objects, and his objects.

If he needed the box I would give it back to him, but I wouldn't let it go without worry and doubt.

Books & Music

Books and Music; Welcome to your escape. The world can be a chaotic, fast-paced, never stop place. When you just need to wind down, and take a breath a relax; curling up with a good book or a pair of headphones can be just the thing. Reality can sometimes not be the most pleasant place, so get lost in a good book. Enveloping yourself in the plot and characters, using your imagination to make a mental movie, and relax. Music also, can be a great escape. Let the rythm and lyrics calm your soul, like a soothing balm to chapped skin. The words you can relate to your life, let them role over and relax you, with each strum or beat, relax and listen to the music. Books and Music are a great way to relax, and lose yourself within your mind, not worry, or stress; just focus on reading the next sentance, or hearing the next verse. Books and Music; Welcome to your escape.

Streneous Fridays

I think today has been the longest Friday of my life. I'm sitting in second period, watching the clock; counting down the seconds until I get to go home. It's been a really good day though, it just seems to be dragging on, and on. I woke up late this morning, and after throwing on some clothes my dad, for once!, decided to bring my sister and I some breakfast. Talk about the shock of my life, he never offers to buy me anything anymore; so what a lovely surprise when a bacon egg and cheese Mcgriddle showed up this morning. That together with my favorite drink, a large diet coke; my morning was going swell! I continued my daily rountine of styling my hair (ha! if you could call it that!) and putting on make-up, you know, girl stuff. I didn't happen to look up at the clock the entire time until my boyfriend had called. I'd been just sitting at home for over an hour! It was almost eight o'clock! I'm usually gone by about 7:30, so this was a bit of a shocker. I still took my time though, and driving to school seemed to take forever too, after the long morning I didn't even want to go to school. Oh well though, I thought that I could make it through two periods. One period down, about 35 minutes left to go, and I'm not dead yet. All and all, it's been a really just chill and mellow day. So enjoy it! Friday means the weekend is here!

UGHHHHH!

b

UGH! I had the worst day at work last Thursday! My boss is such a word that I can-not say due to this being a school thing. I am not an idiot, and I do not appreciate being treated like one! The owner of the store/ manager had been gone for most of the shift I was working; I knew he would be back, and dreaded just his presence darkening the doorway. Well as I was minding my own, busing tables and cleaning up like I was supposed to, his green tank showed up, awesome. Of course this event would occur when I was attempting to car far too many dirty glasses to the back, and as fate would seem to laugh in my face; I dropped them. Water, coke, Mr.pibb, Mountain Dew; you name it, it was soaking the floor in a sticky syrupy fashion. So acting quickly to avoid his wrath, I grabbed a mop and began to quickly clean. However, I was far too late to avoid his cursing and yelling. First it was that I didnt put the wet floor sign out, well...maybe because I was going to get a mop? Not like your standing in front of it or anything. Then I don't mop it good enough! I just pushed it all around, well ya know what bud!? Do it yourself then! All the while insulting my intelligance and my ablitly to carry a cup. OH HOW I DISLIKE HIM! Maybe a little bit stronger than dislike actually. So Smile Kira, You work at PizzaRoma(:

Thursday

Today is Thursday, November 5. It's not the best Thursday I've ever had, but it's been a pretty okay day. I got to eat the rolling pin dounuts today! That always makes a great start to the morning, and first period went by like a breeze. Second period usually drags and drags on, especially, when krazy kreke comes in. Oh dear, let me just sumerize this woman up for you. My opinion, she needs to LAY OFF the perkasets, too many darling. The woman herself has bright red hair, and a personality and voice that seems her bright red just look like a flat brown. College, College, College, ACT, ACT, ACT; give me a break woman! Anyways, back to my day. Its only second period now, We're working on our fabulous essays, which Mrs. Mcdaniel gives way to much of. (: I still like you as a teacher though! Third period I'm sure will go by pretty smoothly, even though it's math. After school oh man I can't wait! My bed and a movie sounds great right now. Well...at least until about 4 when I have to go to work. Pizzaroma(where I work) is a pretty cool place I guess...when certain people aren't there. Well, thats how my days been, and hopefully it continues to just be pretty chill day.

The Monday After...

I hate Mondays, usually; but about once every year I have the best Monday ever! This is always the Monday after Halloween! Every usual Monday is filled with headaches and sleep deprivatoin. The Monday after halloween though, might consist of a little sleep deprivation, but mostly ALOT of candy! This isn't just your average halloween candy either, we don't usually have many trick-or-treaters, so mom always gets the candy that we like! This is a variety of snickers, twix, hershery chocolate bars, kit kats, whoppers, 3 muskateers, milkyways, and reeces. So, the best collection of candy ever! The sugar rush usually makes up for the horrile return to school, and makes my day all the more better. Theres no Monday like the Monday after halloween.(:

Halloween!

So my weekend was amazing! I got to hang out with my wonderful boyfriend, and also my new bestfriend, and her boyfriend. It's been awhile since I've got to go out, so this weekend I was planning on alot of fun. Unfortunate as it may be, our plans didn't exactly pan out, but it was almost better that way. I saved money and got to spend time...even if it was sleeping, with my boyfreind. Work was okay I guess, Friday night we were so busy! Thats originally made our plans fall through, after all the people that came in and out that night I was deffinatly too tired to go to Haunted Houses. So that led to a wonderfully cozy night in, and Saturday night went just about the same. We weren't as busy Sat. as we were Fri, but it still wasn't a cake walk. Saturday night was the best, our group hung out and then went back to a friends house to eat candy and watch scary movies. Sunday of course was back to routine, waking up early to go to church, doing a little bit of homework; and then an early, easy going night at work. All in all, I'd say I had a pretty good Halloween.
